Package osh :: Module process

Module process

Provides information on currently running processes, by examining files in the /proc filesystem. (So it doesn't work on OS X, for example.) The processes function returns a list of Process objects. Each Process object reveals information derived from /proc, identifies parent and child processes, and can be used to send signals to the process.

Classes
	Process A `Process` object represents a process with a particular PID.

Functions

processes(*dummy)

Function Details

processes(*dummy)

source code

Returns a list of process objects based on the current contents of /proc. Of course the list is stale as soon as it is formed. In particular, a Process object in the list may correspond to a process that has terminated by the time you use the object.
